When a user in ratio watch fails to improve their ratio by the time ratio watch expires, that user will lose leeching privileges and have their required ratio temporarily set to the maximum possible requirement (as if 0% of torrents were being seeded). In order to adjust the required ratio so that it reflects the actual percentage of torrents being seeded, the user must seed for a 72 hour period. After 72 hours of seeding occur, the required ratio will consistently update to reflect the leech-disabled user's current seeded percentage, just as it would for a normal user. Leeching privileges will be restored once the user's required ratio has dropped below the actual ratio.
This change prevents the unintended double penalty suffered by users unable to meet their required ratio in the first place, vastly improving their chances of restoring their leeching privileges.
